Volkswagen Phaeton...
 

As mentioned in the article, even available in an armored version. (Bin Laden special?!?)<ul><li><a href="http://autotelegraaf.nl/VanOnzeRedactie/?id=2401">http://autotelegraaf.nl/VanOnzeRedactie/?id=2401</a</li></ul>

"In Duitsland gaat de Phaeton al vrij spoedig in de verkoop"

Online translator: "Within Germany goes the [Phaeton] yet vacant swift within the sale"
 

Well, that's clear. ;-)

Can anyone here translate?

"In Dutchwand get de Phaeton aw vewy speedy individuo coup" (but not as speedy as aw B M Doublwoo)

It wooks wike one wascawy Volkswagen.

We need a real German Audi enthusiast to help us translate. Our cunning "German" linguists here
 

have something stuck in their throats or ....

There is a ton of great stuff in German articles and magazines about our German car. If only we could recruit one of the gadzillion German Audi drivers or Audi Ingolstadt company staff into our Forum.

In the meantime, if one web translator does not work, try another one if you really need the info. A search for "translate a web page" will bring up other web translators such as Systran, etc.


P.S. Id vaz gute funn, Ja...

Yous guyz are too funny. It was just a quote from the article via the url . . .
 

No intent to offend or anything. Thanks for keeping it light:-).

Translation: It's a version of the D1.

Ahem! Text is in Dutch, not German. Unfortunately, . . .
 

. . . I don't read/speak Dutch, I've just run across it often enough to know it when I see it. And there aren't any free Dutch/English translation services on the Internet that I can find. Oh, well.

In short, it says that Phaeton is the name for VW's top of the line sedan.
 

My understanding of the article is that the price range is from 100,000 DM100,000 for the v-6 version to DM200,000 for the w-12 version. The German Chancellor, Schröder, rode in the Phaeton at the opening of VW's new facility in Dresden. In addition, there is an armored version called Protect. As I've taught myself a little Dutch, just enough to get into trouble, I can't vouch for the accuracy of my translation, but I think I have the sense of the article.
